were able to trace back our ancestor, Derk Hendrick Kappers, born in
The Netherlands sometime in 1827 (based on US census records), to a
passenger
list from a ship that left Rotterdam to New York City on 29 Sept
1856. The passenger list shows that he travelled with his wife and two
sons Johan and Arend Jan (Arend Jan is my great-great grandfather) and
they ended up settling in Wisconsin." (click here
for the census record of 1860. She continues: "After doing some
additional online research I came across these two sites that detail
Derk Hendrik Kappers geneology a bit further which seem to confirm who
his mother is Jenneken Kappers:

René Kappers: "Burgelijke Stand Aalten
it reads: Born Aalten, 10 jan 1827, Derk Hendrik Kappers, son of Jenneken
Kappers, 'landbouwster' living in Aalten; given notice of by Harmina
Obelink, midwive, 71 yr living in Aalten. Witnesses Frerik te Loo, 'dagloner'
58 yr, Arent Jan te Loo, 'dagloner' 41 yr."

René Kappers wrote on August 25, 2012: "most
probably Jenneke Kappers as a widow had already a relation with Johannes
Christiaan te Loo, which probability is supported by the presence of
2 members of the Te Loo family at the giving notice at Burgelijke Stand
in 1827. It might even be that one of the witnesses is the father of
Johannes Christiaan. Further genealogical research might reveal that.
In that case one might prudently conclude that Johannes Christiaan is
the father of Derk Hendrik. For that research one has to go to the archives
in Arnhem, since birth in Aalten, nor Lichtevoorde is presently not
available in Genlias on line. Also research in 'Notarieel Archief Aalten'
could confirm this."
